Brady ´absolutely´ expects to face Eagles

14 agosto 2018 23:26

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is set for his first action of preseason against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.

Brady has taken on a lighter workload at training camp and did not participate in practice last Friday and Saturday, while it was reported he missed the preseason opener against the Washington Redskins due to a sore back.

But the Patriots star says he "absolutely" plans to face the Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch.

Brady also said his relationship with coach Bill Belichick is good and that they have the same goal this season: to get a sixth Super Bowl title together.

"I think our priorities are the same that they've always been and I think that's why we get along so well. We're here to win," Brady said.

"It's been a very professional environment he's created and I think I'm very lucky to be in that environment. I think he's the best coach who ever coached in the NFL and I feel very privileged to be mentored by him as long as I have."
